It's the point, Matt. As a matter of fact, The Meiji emperor grew up
and spent his many years in Kinai with his parents who were also
raised and educated in Kinai. Whereas, the emperor Hirohito completely
grew up in Tokyo with his parents who were also raised in Tokyo.
Hirohito had visited Kyoto where his family line belong to only three
times in his life. And I suspect that this kind of contempt and the
neglect against the Kinai culture had made him very immature and naive
person. While the Meiji emperor had been respecting the Kinai
civilization, Hirohito tended to look down on Kinai and adore
imitating the Western culture because he had been already the complete
Tokyo emperor. Hirohito had visited Britain when he was young, and
probably that had made him a lot different from the Meiji emperor, I
guess. Probably Hirohito would be the first honorary White in Japan.
